ADAS EXPANDS SERVICES INTO IRELAND

Leading environmental consultancy ADAS is
continuing its expansion plans and development of its services by
opening its first dedicated Irish office in Dublin.

Established for more than 37 years, ADAS is one of the largest
environmental consultancies in the United Kingdom and a leading
provider of environmental solutions, rural development services and
policy advice.

The move to open an office in City West Business Park is a natural
progression for the consultancy which has a proven track record of
working with clients in both North Ireland and the Irish Republic,
including the Northern Ireland Environment Agency, the Department of
Agriculture and the Department of the Environment, Heritage & Local
Government in Dublin, as well as the East Cork Development
Corporation and a large number of city and county councils
throughout the country.

ADAS now aims to expand its client base across four key markets –
waste, water, land and ecology. It will also look to recruit further
consultants to work on dedicated projects.

Mike Bailey, ADAS Ireland manager, said: “Many of the problems
currently being faced by industries in the private and public sector
in Ireland, such cryptosporidium in water, have already been
addressed by ADAS in England, Scotland and Wales using our
agricultural expertise. There is a clear demand for environmental
consultancy services and we are looking forward to sharing our
expertise with businesses and local authorities across Ireland.

“Since our opening we have already secured a key contract with
Greenstar, a leading provider of environmental, waste management and
recycling solutions. The contract is a great first step and we hope
to build on this as we look to the future.”

ADAS provides independent science-based research, consultancy and
contracting services to a wide range of organisations in both the
private and public sectors, throughout the UK, Ireland and
internationally. The consultancy’s core disciplines are focused
around the interaction of man with the living, growing environment
and ensuring its future sustainability.

Mike adds: “We have undertaken projects with a range of clients
across Ireland for a number of years and we felt it was the right
time to have a visible presence in the country, which will enable us
to provide increased support to existing clients, as well as
presenting opportunities to extend into new markets.”
